Thanks, once again, to an anonymous donor we now have the ZV8 TOT. I have also broken down the TOT and uploaded the individual partitions which can be flashed if rooted and custom recovery(TWRP) is installed. Speaking of root... ZV8 blocks StumpRoot and Bump. If you wish to have a rooted ZV8 you must be previously rooted and have TWRP installed. If you take the ZV8 OTA and want root then -AS OF RIGHT NOW- you will need to downgrade using the ZV4 TOT then root and install TWRP... then upgrade manually to ZV8, either by flashing individual partitions or waiting for a flashable zip. Changelog: *will update when I see an official changelog* --TOT (*.zip) can be downloaded *HERE* Flash this TOT using the same method as ZV4/ZV6. You will need to select "Board DL" in LG Flash, otherwise you will get stuck. After the TOT flashes it will reboot your phone into the "MiniOS".. unplug the USB cable and press and hold the power button on the phone then press on the "Normal Boot" option on your phones screen. You are now on stock ZV8. Remember... there is no root for ZV8 so do not flash ZV8 TOT unless you don't mind being without root. **after TOT flash the Sprint-specific carrier settings many not be set properly and in some cases a ##786# reset may be needed to correct this issue. Phone will work just fine otherwise. If flashing a custom rom zip or manually updating through TWRP this will most likely not be needed** --Individual ZV8 partitions to flash manually can be downloaded *HERE* I am not mirroring system.img due to its redundancy... feel free to dump system.img, mirror it somewhere then link me to it and I'll gladly add it to this spot with credit. The ZV8 bootloader blocks Bump... do not flash the bootloader img files if you want to use Bump'd files. If manually updating I'd suggest system.img, boot.img, modem.img, tz.img and rpm.img. --ZV6-to-ZV8 OTA Update Zip will be added when OTA is officially sent out. If someone can grab the FULL filename of the OTA update and send it to me I can provide a direct download link. Don't need the file.. just the file name.
